Meditation is an ideal work for advanced secondary school students and above looking to perform contemporary music. It was originally written for viola and piano and later was adapted for both alto saxophone and clarinet. The work was written to highlight the lyrical qualities of the solo instrument with a piano accompaniment. As such, Meditation provides an opportunity for the soloist to shine through individual expression making it perfect for solo recitals and competitions.

Mit einem Paukenschlag wurde die Musikwelt auf Erik Satie (1866-1925) aufmerksam: Als am 18. Mai 1817 sein Ballett 'Parade' uraufgefuhrt wurde, kam es zum Skandal. Die Produktion, an der auch Sergei Djagilew mit seinen 'Ballets Russes', Pablo Picasso (Buhnenbild und Kostume), Jean Cocteau (Handlung) sowie Leonide Massine (Choreographie) beteiligt waren, entzweite die Pariser Musikwelt, machte den Komponisten aber weithin bekannt. Satie, der kaum eine fundierte musikalische Ausbildung genossen hatte und fast zeit seines Lebens in Paris lebte, entwickelte einen neuen musikalischen Stil, in bewusster Abkehr vom 'Wagnerisme' seiner Zeit. Klassische Formmodelle, neue Harmonik, Leichtigkeit im Stil, Meditatives und Clowneskes verschmolzen originell. Zum Musterbeispiel dafur sind seine '3 Gymnopedies' von 1888 geworden, deren erste hier fur ein Soloinstrument mit Klavierbegleitung arrangiert wurde: Das Musizieren dieser beruhmtesten Miniatur von Satie wird damit auch Nicht-Pianisten ermoglichst - die einfache Spielbarkeit erlaubt den Einsatz auch fur padagogische Zwecke.

Nico Samitz has been composing for chamber ensembles since his school days. For over ten years he has been writing works in a wide variety of genres for the “BlechReiz BrassQuintett†ensemble, in which he himself plays trumpet and piano. His field of expertise ranges from classical pieces to jazz and meditative music—and even to pop-oriented compositions. While honing his skills in ear-training and composition at the Mozarteum, Salzburg, Nico became acquainted with a wide repertoire of works as a trumpet player with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Bavarian State Opera, all of which have influenced his writing style. The driving force behind his creative work is a winning combination of passion, the fun of music-making and a desire to express, through the medium of music, feelings that are difficult to put into words. Like many of his works, Nico composedThe Joy of Freedom for the “BlechReiz BrassQuintetâ€. The catchy tune is reworked in a variety of styles throughout the entire work, giving it the quality of a true 'earworm'.
